As someone has said before, it would be a lot of fun if we could do a poll to choose the worst NO song ever.

Perhaps we could do the same mechanism, by choosing the "worst" track on each album, and then picking up one between them!!

I'm sure there are people that will say this is heresy, but I don't think so. As a matter of fact, we are the most eligible people to do us, since no one knows NO better than the people on this forum. Not even them!

Why so surprised?

I'm not even sure Ceremony makes it to my own top 10 ;)

Don't get me wrong, I love the song, but there are songs like Run and All Day Long which are in there, and not on the above list!!

Uh.. I remember that many people didn't like it too much when there was tons of polls about the best song on each album...!! I try to go one per week these days to avoid having the first page (even if I increased the amount of threads per page) gets filled with polls.

Nico,

Trust me, just wait till you've seen Ceremony live, and try and witness it on my shores as opposed to yours, just to feel the surge and mayhem from the crowd. Breathtaking stuff. The ultimate three-minute workout.

Run and ADL are not worthy comparisons. Both are reasonably slow to mid-paced numbers whilst Ceremony is strictly for the 'ardcore. All good songs, but Ceremony only has one market - down the front!

Anyways, Ceremony has taken over from True Faith for the time being, so I'm villified.

I feel Ceremony shouldn't be included on the list since it is originally a Joy Division song. I cast my vote for Love Vigilantes or Temptation. I'm glad to see Touched By The Hand Of God was left off this list!

I feel you may not be 100% correct there. Joy Division started writing it, New Order finished it and recorded it.

Love Vigilantes OR Temptation ? Don't you know ?

It's a New Order song. It's synonymous with New Order, not Joy Division. It was their first single and has always been one of the highlights of their live set.

It's hard to choose just one. But if I have to decide one to vote, then I'd go for True Faith. coz it's never felt out of time. Crystal, Regret, Blue Monday are also my personal favourites.

Lonesome Tonight the best song from the Golden age of New Order

Never mind picking out one of these as the best, (although I did pick Ceremony). This should have been the listing to International!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

World in Motion was number 1! ... and the band members wore really nice clothes in the video... and no votes at all! it was the pinnacle of New Order's career!

...well, i'm as sure as hell not going to vote for it either.

all these years i thought Barney had a sense of humour, or at least a couple of layers... now i'm starting to suspect that he was just high.
